How to Use Penis Pump Effectively: Tips and Basics
- Written

At one point in our lives, we were all exposed to the “idea” of a penis pump. For me, it was an old Austin Powers movie cracking jokes about the world's greatest spy pretending the pump given to him was not his, along with the book he wrote about it. While funny at the time the joke was that he was ashamed of his use and subsequent support of his pump. Now that I am older I wonder why he was so embarrassed? Today we are going to break down what a Penis pump is for and why we should be excited to use one not embarrassed.
What is a penis pump?
A Penis Pump is simply a device used to create a seal around the base of the penis with a tube and create suction that pulls more blood into the shaft. It is known as a time-tested way to get a fuller, more engaged feel and comes in many styles.
The most common style and one that you most likely have seen is the “bulb” style which uses a tube and a plastic bulb that you squeeze to create the suction. This method has been tried and tested but with the bulb, you have less ability to get the exact amount of suction each time.
Trigger pumps are essentially the same as the bulb style they just use a hand trigger instead of a bulb to provide the suction. Again they work great and with a trigger, you can get a more precise suction but you still can have difficulty ensuring you land in the same zone with each use.
Water pumps use water in the tube instead of air to create the suction.
Automatic penis pumps take the guesswork out of your pump routine. This pump is by far my favorite simply because I know I am getting the same pressure and suction each time. We live in a day and age of technology. Why not use it to its fullest extent.

How is an automatic penis pump different from other pumps available in the market?
We have discussed a few different types of pumps and I already alluded to one of the major reasons it is beneficial to use an Automatic Penis Pump over some others in the market. I want to dive deeper with you on why I personally feel like automatic is the way to go.
First and foremost the Automatic Penis Pump is comfortable. We are using suction to draw in blood flow while working toward more length and girth over time. I want a method that is the most comfortable and takes out the guesswork. With a custom-built base, I no longer have to worry about uncomfortable pain when pumping.
The second thing I enjoy about an automatic pump is I don't need anything extra to make sure I am doing it correctly. The LED screen makes it easy to read and has an automatic timer so I can pump and relax all at the same time.
The third thing I enjoy and it might be the most important to me is that it is silent. When my partner and I use our pump we are often setting the mood, why have a loud pump motor ruining the ambiance?
How to use a penis pump effectively: beginner tips
The right size
Never used a pump before let’s get into some tips on how to use it effectively and get the most from your routine. First and foremost selecting the pump that is right for you needs to be a priority. In most cases the market provides a “one size fits all” option but we all know that is not the truth. One size does not fit us all which is why I can appreciate two sizes offered by the automatic penis pump.
When selecting the appropriate size you want to pick the size that fits you currently the standard size offered by the automatic pump is 2.5 inches in girth and 8 inches in length. The XL version is 3.25 inches in girth and 10 inches in length. Make sure you have an accurate measurement of your penis before use so that you will still have room as you progress.

What to remember during & after the pumping session?
During pumping the key to remember is to take your time. The automatic pump comes with a timer but if you choose another model make sure you are keeping track of how long you are pumping over the course of several days or before intercourse.
You want to hold the pump in one hand and use the other hand to begin the pump either manually or with the automatic features. It is beneficial to use either a water-based lubricant to slide through the base sleeve or aloe vera penis gel. The lubricant is used to ensure you do not rip the base but the Aloe Vera Penis Gel acts not only as a lubricant but stimulates blood flow. Aloe Vera is a vasodilator that helps support blood flow and your routine after a session.

Remember once you take off the suction the penis will reduce the size slightly closer to normal sizes which is why it is important to keep up a penis pump routine with the pump and the Gel to support healthy blood flow.
Can a penis pump give a fuller, more engaged feel?

This is a great question, and the idea behind a pump is to draw blood into the shaft for a fuller, more engaged feel. The answer is simple, of course, you can. If erections are a concern for you, check with your doctor first. Otherwise, simply apply lubricant, get as erect as you can and use the pump!
Where to buy a penis pump

Where do I buy one and which do I buy? These are common questions when debating about getting a pump for yourself. First, it depends on which you choose for yourself, if you are like me and want to purchase an automatic pump one of the most popular places for that is Zen Hanger. There you can find not only a pump that will be great to use as a part of your lengthening routine but also a penis hangar if you want more long-term options.
When looking for a place to buy and if you are considering Zen Hanger consider using Volume and Recovery Supplement. You are developing a routine built for gradual gains with consistent use, and a good way to do that is to have the right products for steady progress. This volume and recovery supplement is made to support your recovery routine between sessions. Using an automatic pump from Zen Hanger, the aloe vera gel and the recovery supplements are a complete routine built for steady progress with consistent use.
Final thoughts
Purchasing and using a Penis Pump is not something to be ashamed of, and at this point, I have written about it hopefully as informative as an Austin Powers classic “Sweedish-Made Penis enlarger pumps and Me.” If a penis pump is good enough for an international man of mystery and millions of other men around the world why not try one for yourself. Work toward the length and girth you want for yourself and your partner.
